I stood beneath the early morning sun —
tepid on my skin and bright yellow in the cloudless sky — and felt complete serenity in that moment.
My mind was not turbulent as it normally is;
My heartbeats were steady and not anxious;
My soul was at utter peace, and for a brief moment I believed I had found my peace of mind.
The uncut grass, standing mid-calf high, billowed in the wind and if I had never seen the sea before then I would have believed that to be an ocean.
My! what a beautiful green ocean that would be.
I swam through the leaves and reached out my hand to feel this simple simple simple living organism made of molecules and atoms much similar to my own, yet so different.
I was created to discover my predetermined path, and here is this grass resting in the soil calmly beneath the sky without a path, without rules, without worries.
The simplicity is beautiful.
Us human beings are quite the opposite— complex, mundane, and monotonous.
I find myself unconsciously allowing this monotony to befriend me.
No. This cannot be.
I need to indulge myself in the unfamiliar.
I need adventure, but I must free myself from this prison of fear.
To feel as I felt this morning, merely standing outside, would be marvelous.
My state-of-mind is improving, though.
Happiness doesn’t seem unattainable as it once did.
